Restaking Protocol Smart Contract Formal Verification

Apply mathematical proof techniques to verify the correctness of your critical restaking contract logic. We ensure zero bugs in slashing conditions, fund settlement, and validator state management.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that power your protocol's core logic, from tokenomics to governance. Our development process is built on security-first principles with formal verification and peer review.

Deliver a battle-tested, gas-optimized contract suite in as little as 2-4 weeks.

  • Token Systems: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155 with custom minting, vesting, and staking logic.
  • DeFi Primitives: Automated market makers (AMMs), lending pools, yield aggregators, and derivative vaults.
  • Governance & DAOs: Multi-sig treasuries, token-weighted voting, and proposal execution frameworks.
  • Security Guarantee: All contracts undergo manual audits and testing against known attack vectors before deployment.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Formal Verification Methodology

We apply a rigorous, multi-layered verification process to mathematically prove the correctness of your restaking protocol's core logic, eliminating entire classes of vulnerabilities that traditional audits can miss.

01

1. Specification & Modeling

We translate your protocol's business logic and security requirements into formal, machine-readable specifications using TLA+ or Coq. This creates an unambiguous mathematical model of intended behavior, serving as the single source of truth for verification.

2. Code Formalization

Your Solidity/Vyper smart contracts are translated into a formal intermediate representation. We map every function, state variable, and control flow path to the specification, ensuring the codebase is fully represented for theorem proving.

3. Theorem Proving & Verification

Using automated theorem provers (like Z3) and interactive proof assistants, we mathematically verify that the formalized code satisfies all specifications. This proves the absence of critical bugs like reentrancy, overflow, and logic flaws.

4. Invariant Validation

We define and prove key system invariants critical for restaking security: slashing condition correctness, reward distribution fairness, and validator state consistency. This guarantees protocol safety and liveness properties under all scenarios.

5. Counterexample Analysis

If a proof fails, our tools generate concrete counterexamples—specific transaction sequences that violate a specification. This provides actionable, reproducible bug reports for developers, far beyond typical audit findings.

THE GOLD STANDARD

Why Choose Formal Verification for Restaking

Traditional audits sample code; formal verification mathematically proves your restaking protocol is free from critical vulnerabilities. For protocols securing billions in TVL, this is non-negotiable.

02

Prevent Catastrophic Slashing Bugs

Formal methods are uniquely suited to catch complex, multi-step logic flaws that lead to unjust slashing—the existential risk for any restaking protocol. We verify all validator lifecycle and penalty logic.

Guarantee Reward & Withdrawal Safety

Prove that user rewards are always correctly calculable and that withdrawal requests can never be unfairly blocked, ensuring user funds and yields are protected by code, not just convention.

Reduce Long-Term Security Costs

While the initial investment is higher, formal verification drastically reduces the frequency and cost of emergency patches, post-audit reworks, and insurance premiums over the protocol's lifetime.

STRUCTURED & TRANSPARENT

Our Formal Verification Engagement Process

A proven, four-phase methodology that delivers mathematically proven security for your restaking protocol, from initial specification to final certification.

01

Phase 1: Specification & Scoping

We collaborate with your team to define formal specifications for your protocol's core invariants and security properties. This critical foundation ensures our verification targets your exact business logic and risk model.

Phase 2: Model Building & Theorem Proving

Our experts translate your Solidity/Vyper code into a formal model using tools like Certora Prover or K Framework. We then mathematically prove that the code satisfies all specified security properties under all possible states.

Phase 3: Counterexample Analysis & Remediation

If a property fails, we provide a concrete counterexample—a specific transaction sequence that breaks the invariant. We then work with your developers to fix the logic and re-verify until all proofs pass.

Technical & Process Questions

Formal Verification FAQs for Protocol Teams

Common questions from CTOs and lead developers about our formal verification process for restaking protocols.

A standard formal verification project for a restaking protocol takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to final report. This includes 1-2 weeks for specification formalization, 2-4 weeks for theorem proving and model checking, and 1-2 weeks for reporting and review. Complex multi-protocol integrations or novel cryptographic primitives may extend the timeline, which we scope and quote upfront.
